Construction Business Funding in Ohio: MCA, ByzFlex & Term Loans
Running a construction company in Ohio means project-based, milestone-paid revenue with heavy upfront material costs. Weather and project pipelines create uneven cash flow across the year. When you need capital fast, banks hesitate on contractors with lumpy, project-dependent revenue. Byzfunder is a direct funder: we fund from our own balance sheet, your revenue matters more than your credit score, and approvals come in hours, not weeks.
Why Ohio construction companies use revenue-based funding
Ohio is a diversified Midwest economy spanning advanced manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics corridors, home to roughly 1.0 million small businesses across metros like Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and more. For construction companies, the problem isn't demand — it's timing. For larger, fixed material and equipment costs, a term loan's predictable payoff plan fits a contractor's milestone-paid revenue.
Common reasons Ohio construction companies reach for working capital:
- Buying materials before a job pays out
- Covering payroll across project milestones
- Renting or repairing equipment
- Bridging to the next contract
Your funding options as a construction company in Ohio
| Option | What it is | FICO floor | Best for construction companies |
|---|---|---|---|
| Merchant Cash Advance | A purchase of future receivables — not a loan. Repayment flexes with sales. | 525+ | Fast, sales-linked capital with same-day funding |
| ByzFlex | Revenue-based revolving capital — draw what you need as you need it. | 550+ | Recurring or unpredictable costs across the month |
| Term Loan ✅ | Upfront capital with a fixed, predictable payoff plan. | 550+ | Larger one-time costs with a clear payback horizon |
For most construction companies, Term Loan is the natural fit ($25,000–$500,000 is a typical range, not a promise — your offer depends on your file). Here's how each works:
- Merchant Cash Advance — An MCA is a purchase of your future receivables, not a loan. You get capital upfront and repay as a small, flexible share of daily sales. FICO 525+ qualifies.
- ByzFlex — Byzfunder's revenue-based revolving capital. Draw funds as costs hit, pay for what you use. FICO 550+.
- Term Loan — Upfront capital with a fixed payoff plan, fulfilled through the affiliated Byzwash entity. Best for larger, one-time needs. FICO 550+.
What Ohio construction companies qualify for
Byzfunder underwrites on business performance, not just credit. General guidelines:
- FICO: 525+ for MCA, 550+ for ByzFlex
- Revenue: typically $20,000+ in monthly revenue
- Time in business: the stronger your history, the better your terms
- Documents: a short application plus a few months of business bank statements — no mountain of paperwork
There's no "guaranteed approval" here — every file is reviewed on its own merits. But strong revenue can outweigh an imperfect credit score.
